The tweet after that shows that this won't necessarily be unwarranted:

"Beat it in 8 hours, levels are quite short, multiplayer is kind of pointless."

what

Yup it makes no sense. The point of the multiplayer is that it is fun. There doesn't need to be any other point.

I knew this game would be awesome. I don't have a Wii U and I'm probably not getting one any time soon but it's good to see a great game finally come out for it.

Multiplayer is pointless, I only play by myself, don't want other people slowing me down and stealing my powerups.

Lol. The original happened on November 22nd, too.

That's typical for Nintendo games. Underwhelming reveal trailer, amazing end product. Just watch. The crow for Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze will be amazing.

Tropical Freeze already looks better than Returns. That game's quality isn't in doubt if you ask me. 3D World had people worried, but only really because of the legendary status of Galaxy 1 + 2.

I don't like this shit, man
are you telling me Pikmin 3 and the other good shit released earlier this year weren't great?

I don't doubt 3D World's greatness but it isn't the first great game the system got this year.

I bet he'll say
"3D Land was excellent because it was for a handheld console. 3D World should've been more because the Galaxy games were great. This was fun, but it's not as good as the Galaxy games. It has multiplayer, but it sucks because the people I played with was always mocking around and didn't want to play it right. I played by myself and I beat the game in 8 hours. You may say I didn't 100%, but whatever! The credits rolled so I knew I beat it. 8/10"


I wouldn't be too sure about that... he might compare it to Wii Music unfavorably though

May the gaming god bless 2013 - who would have thought that #YearOfLuigi is so amazing

Pikmin 3 is no hype generator, but I can say with full confidence that it will be as good as 3D World and ALBW. Nintendo's 2013 line up is outstanding. Such a shame it will go unnoticed because 'lol sales'.

It's even more obvious than that; the point of multiplayer is so you can play the game with multiple players. Even if it wasn't fun, there would still be a purpose to having the mode.

Also people shouldn't dismiss TBB's review before they post it, the game being too short or having disappointing multiplayer (which I assume is what he meant instead of "pointless") are valid complaints, much more so than "bowser is the antagonist again".

That Eurogamer article is one of the best written reviews I have ever read. I suggest every Mario fan read that review. I'm embarrassed to admit I actually teared up while reading it.

Donlan is the best writer working in the enthusiast press.
 
I still think Mario Kart stands more of a chance of being the Wii U system seller, but this certainly helps.

Will look forward to fun in co-op.

Well, for me it's the first great game. I don't care one poo about Pikmin 3 and especially not Wonderful 101.

Alright, fuck it.

I thought I had enough resolve to wait for another price drop to jump into Wii U, but reading the Eurogamer and Gamespot reviews has left me giddy like a 8 year old on Christmas morning. I need this in my veins as soon as it drops. You win Nintendo.

happy about the jeuxvideo score.
a real masterpiece distinguishes itself from moneyhatted reviews exactly with this out-of-the-chore scores

If there's one thing that disappoints me about what I'm reading in all this positive reception, it's this undercurrent of "The Wii U finally gets a great game!" The greatest game of the year and greatest action game of all time came out a few months ago, guys. You're only hurting yourselves by not giving it a shot.
